She was a lifelong parishioner of St. Mary’s Nativity Catholic Church as well as an active member of the Senior and Folk Choir, Eucharistic Minister and also a member of the Ladies Altar Society. She was an active member of Al-Anon for 35+ years.

The last few years of her life were blessed with an earthly angel, Joanny Luther Francis and her family.
